These games are a shell of what they would've been ten years ago....even 5 years ago. There are several programs who have just gone downhill in these two conferences.

By trying to vary opponents and not having the same teams play each other repeatedly, they've also run out of really good matchups. Other than the oft-mentioned OhSt-Duke, there aren't a lot of really compelling top drawer matchups here. Maryland -UVA might be interesting, and MSU-Miami, but come on, Louisville vs IU?

Indiana, like NC State, has been improving every year. Plus, Louisville -IU could be considered close to an inter-state rivalry, and might be revived away from this challenge should both parties desire. OTOH, NC State-Rutgers is likely to be a blowout, with the Scarlet Knights being the ones blown out.
